Summary

At thirty-three-years old Evangeline Starling’s life in Chicago is missing that special something. And when she’s passed over for promotion at work, Evie realizes she needs to make a change. Some time away to regain perspective might be just the thing. In a burst of impulsivity, she plans a holiday in a quaint English village. The holiday package comes with a temporary position at Much Ado About Books, the bookstore located beneath her rental apartment. There’s no better dream vacation for the bookish Evie, a life-long Shakespeare lover.

Not only is Evie swept up in running the delightful store as soon as she arrives, she’s drawn into the lives, loves and drama of the friendly villagers. Including Roane Robson, the charismatic and sexy farmer who tempts Evie every day with his friendly flirtations. Evie is determined to keep him at bay because a holiday romance can only end in heartbreak, right? But Evie can’t deny their connection and longs to trust in her handsome farmer that their whirlwind romance could turn in to the forever kind of love.

Review

I purchased this book knowing just that the main character, Evie, become a bookseller in a little English town for her vacation.

I like the atmosphere in this book. I wanted to be there and be a part of this small town. The romance was great, and I believe it, which is an essential element in a romance. They were so cute together, and the way they connect right away was top notch.

In this book, you have the romance but also all the problems and gossips of the town. It was like being there, and I can tell you that you also read this book for those gossips.

The little struggle that I had was the timeline of the story. Sometimes you have a detailed week or day, and sometimes, you have weeks or months skipped. It was a little disconcerting. However, it wasn’t a big issue and can be quickly past over it as a lot is happening in this town.

I spend a great time reading this easy and quick book.
